Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of coral planting, and more particularly relates to a coral automatic planting device and a planting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Coral reefs are formed by the deposition of coral skeletons composed of calcium carbonate over hundreds to thousands of years, and are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical shallow sea areas. The number of people in the world who directly or indirectly depend on the coral reef ecosystem for survival reaches hundreds of millions. Coral reefs, which account for less than 0.2% of the global marine area, nurture more than 1 / 4 of the marine species, and are an important part of the marine ecosystem.

[0003] More than 70% of the coral reefs in the world have been damaged to varying degrees, and nearly 30% have lost their ability to survive. However, in recent decades, with the intensification of global warming and the increase of human activities, the threats to coral reefs are increasing, and the overall situation is declining. Therefore, we need to take a series of positive measures to protect coral reef resources.

[0004] The ecological restoration of coral reefs is currently mainly through artificial cultivation and planting. Artificial planting of corals is mainly through the use of artificial reefs to attract the adsorption of corals, or by artificially fixing collected or cultivated coral branches on the bottom of the coral reef to be restored. Artificial planting requires divers to work on the seabed for a long time, which poses a risk to the divers' health and safety, and the efficiency of artificial planting of coral reefs is low and the implementation cost is high. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a coral automatic planting device to improve the current situation. SUMMARY
